“We are so sophisticated, we think we’ve got everything figured out,” the Christian Broadcasting Network chairman continued. “We know about evolution, we know about Darwin, we know about all these things that says God isn’t real, we know about all this stuff.”

According to Robertson, it’s the “skepticism and secularism” that is being taught at “the most advanced schools” around the country that is keeping God’s miracles at bay.

Meanwhile, Africans are “simple” and “humble.” “You tell ‘em God loves ‘em and they say, ‘Okay, he loves me’,” said Robertson. “You say God will do miracles and they say, ‘Okay, we believe him’.”

I’m not sure how to react to this. Part of me want to scream “Duh!” and do a victory dance. Part of me want to laugh hysterically. And part of me wants to weep in sadness. And they’re all sort of fighting each other to a draw.

I just chuckle. It’s definitely a sign of the “end times” for clowns like him. I imagine god up there thinking to herself “I swear to me, if this guy disses evolution and Darwin one more time I’m gonna shit thunder on his head”.

My reaction to this is that it is quite scary. It shows that religion wants to turn people into sheep who will follow anything they are indoctrinated with. Just as many speculate, religion was probably was invented largely in part as a form of control. It’s scary when people just accept religion and some of it’s absurdities without question. Then, once you’re in the cult, if you question it, you’re “blasphemous” and damned to hell.

Hmm, let’s see, according to Pat, we have the choice of living in a society where educated people don’t believe in God, and thus we don’t get any miracles, or living in a society where uneducated people do things like rape babies because they think it will cure AIDS. Gee, which kind of society would I like to live in? Tough choice.

What Pat Robertson doesn’t even grasp was that if everything he believed in was real….including miracles….then it would all persist in being there whether we were educated or not and believed it or not.

Reality is funny that way.

Question authority and think for yourself. Big Brother does not know best and never has.

My definition of miracle = A natural occurrence with causes the person defining it as a miracle is too uneducated, biased or dumb to recognize and understand.

Occam

My definition of a miracle = an occurrence that produces a result so marvelous that we didn’t think it was possible.

There are two ways to look at miracles. One is the uneducated view, which holds that they are products of supernatural forces. The other is the educated view, which holds that they are products of natural forces and it is up to us to figure them out, if we so choose.
